The cheating Chicoms are good for my business but not American's health. Nail them in a coffin and pay back the Americans what they deserve in this travesty. In a truly ironic twist U.S. citizens are paying them to kill people and our bought and paid for politico's look the other way because they don't want to upset the big U.S. debt buyer. Pathetic!

They werent buying any of our debt yesterday.

Here is a question. I have a buddy who just purchased a house with Chinese dry wall in it. He probably paid half the market value bc he has to replace all the dry wall and all the wiring...

Now, if the settlement is to replace the drywall, does he now get the settlement money to fix the house, or would the people who sold him the house below market, have a claim on the money?

Seems to me like he would get the windfall. The sellers could have done many things to reserve their rights under the terms of the sale and didnt. They certainly knew or could have known that litigation was ongoing.

Curious to hear from anyone with knowledge of the action.
